Whether by choice or necessity, a significant number of children are home alone for one to several hours daily. In fact, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that 1.6 million children ages 5 to 14 are “latchkey” children — kids who carry house keys and come home to an empty house daily. Parents should consider these questions in determining whether a son or daughter is ready to be independent and safe:
A simple way to ease your child into home alone situations is to leave for short periods of time to see how your child reacts to being alone. Be accessible during and after these trial periods to answer questions. As both you and your child become more confident, longer periods will become easier.
